Even without the sales spike, we have a lot to work on!  Some focus areas:<p>- Java development: Spring and Hibernate are requirements.  Bonus points for jOOQ.
- PHP development: Well-rounded, but initially WordPress focused.
- Systems and API integration: Tie 3rd party solutions together into cohesive, automated strategies.  A mix of API deep-dives, business requirements analysis, and custom development.  Systems typically include payment and donation platforms, CRM, donor retention, mailing, etc.
- Task automation.  This is super multifaceted, but the typicals (Python, Perl, etc.) come up frequently.
- Mobile app developers: Native and hybrid apps are in the pipeline.
- Front-end developers<p>Must be fun and easy going. Must be used to remote, asynchronous environments.  Our primary focus is <i>serving others</i>!<p>If that describes you, I&#x27;d love to chat!
